Google Online Sweepstakes Promotion (a Laughable Scam)

Updated on August 18, 2014

Google Email Scam

I received a strange email today, claiming to be from Google, stating that I'd won a lot of money in a draw. It said I'd won "£500,000 GBP (Five Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in our online Give-away 1Oth Anniversary draws."

The email, copied and pasted in full below, is either from a moronic individual who believes that people will fall for his/her devious (lol) scam, or Google has employed a moron to run their prize draw. (I seriously doubt this.)

As far as I am aware, Google is not running a 10th anniversary prize draw, and if they were, I am sure that they would have advertised it and everyone on the Internet would have heard about it by now.

From start to finish, the email I received is a shambles, riddled with mistakes, and we could start a competition to see who could find the most of them. The winner gets that £500,000 Google prize money, when it comes. (You can tell I'm joking, right? See, you're no moron.)

Take a look below at the email. The first thing you will notice is that it is sent from a Hotmail account. Why oh why would Google email anyone from Hotmail when they have their very own Gmail hosting? I can't answer that question because I am not a moron.

Go ahead. See how many errors and stupid mistakes you can find.

The Google Sweepstakes Lottery Scam: Don't Fall for It

If you get one of these emails, tell your friends, tell your family, especially tell all the young and old people you know: don't fall for it! Everyone needs to be warning each other about these things.

Scammers, phishers, and con artists are getting really good at making the email look legitimate enough to fool you (or your kid, or your grandmother). According to a study by the Symantec Security Technology and Response Group (2012), about 156 million phishing (scam) emails are sent globally every day. According to them,

16 million of these emails make it through your email spam filters,

8 million are opened,

800,000 people click the spammy link in the email,

and 80,000 people fall for a scam every day by inputting their personal information.

That's 80,000 people (including smart people) that fall for a scam every day, so warn everyone you know!

Google Does Not Run Lotteries

The text above was copied from Google's website: "Google doesn't run lotteries, and your email address hasn't been selected to win a prize. Do not reply back with your personal details."

Have you ever gotten one of these scam emails before?

Believe me, the lure of money blinds everything and people like me have fallen for it . I ended up spending about 41,000/- and ended up getting nothing . Please don't fall into the same trap .

Daniel Pyle 8 years ago

Hey thanks for the hub....It is this type of scam that runs rampant across the internet. Which makes some legitimate opportunities seem too good to be true...Two years in internet and network marketing has yielded many a scam just like this into my inbox...the first thing that I would urge you to do is delete any email with a lottery or winnings claim....I usually just hit reply and then get the confirmation that the email address is invalid...Doing what I do...I nail every single spammer out there to a tree....People hate me for that but I want to keep things legitimate for those of us doing business online..Thanks again for the hub.

Nice expose. These, unfortunately, run rampant on the net. Thanks.

Chuck 8 years ago from Tucson, Arizona

Great hub Jimmy. But it appears that they forgot to ask you for your bank account number so they could deposit your winnings. LOL Chuck

You won't get rid of this kind of stuff until the part of the brain that handles the desire of people to get something for nothing is surgically removed.

No matter how much advice you give people to stay away, there's always that little, niggling voice in their heads saying . . .

"I know, but maybe THIS one is legitimate . . . ."

And the one in maybe one million who responds makes it all worthwile for the spammers. (@ Rajan - I feel for you! )

And results in clogged up mailboxes for the rest of us.

The sad thing is that there are people who fall for these scams! I also get fake phone calls, which begin, 'Congratulations, you have been selected...' (I usually hang up at that point.)

compu-smart 8 years ago from London UK

These people who send these emails to thousands of people are really quite smart! as there will always be people who are NOT smart, and think its all real and send account details or payments to secure winnings!!

bluewings 8 years ago from Milkyway

I am aware of such emails using Yahoo's name , but the ones I received using Google's name have , so far , been about making money working for Google.However, those are mostly spams ( although not all of them scams) and obviously not from Google. I know that people still do fall into the traps of such phishers because the internet surfer is growing by the hour, but I was surprised to read the second comment here.

I googled bout this Mr Francis Henson, maybe these spammers experienced a bit by using googlemail. but why did they send it to yahoomail not to gmail if it's a google promotion? still such a moron..

JohnKhoo 8 years ago

One of the obvious thing to let us judge on wether the email is scam or not is the sender's email addresses. I can say 100% email sent via free mail like hotmail, yahoo mail, google mail are all scams. Why don't they just be wise a little bit next time not to send via free email? Coz it is too obvious for other people to know that they are SCAMMER.

I got the same "francis henson" email today, and they are now sending it from the email address winners@googlepromotions.org, which looks more legit. i hope people still don't fall for it. if you go to googlepromotions.org, there is no website there - another easy way to check on the legitimacy of these scams.

HAVE A LOOK OF THIS EMAIL & BEWARE OF SUCH SCAMMERS:

This Email is to inform you that you emerged a winner of 1,000,000 British Pounds on our on line draws.

Your e-mail address attached to ticket number 564 75600545-188 with serialnumber 5388/02 drew lucky numbers 7-14-18-31-45, which consequently won in the 2ND category, you have therefore been approved for a lump sum pay out of 1,000,000 (One Million Pounds Sterling ).

Obviously a 419er. There are actually websites out there that bait these guys and get them to incriminate themsleves (or just make them look stupid) The best one is the 419 eater website at http://www.419eater.com/ The best one I've seen was the one where Chris Hansen of Dateline NBC scammed the scammer in to thinking he was going to be getting a bunch of MONEY!

Send postage and handling charges to (etc.) to receive your prize. Yes, I think its a scam!!!

Well, Have a great day! Thankyou for confirming it for me, too, as now i know! Thanks!

Wizzywigg 7 years ago

If you were to run a competition for who receives the most of these types of e-mails, I'm sure I'd win! I've been receiving around 40 per day for the last 2 years! My fault I guess as I do encourage spam, in between the rubbish you can find useful info, but the things these people dream up are incredible!

I received one from an African who apparenty started the internet! Yup he was the creator and to prove it he even gave a link to a website that praised his achievements! Then there's the Christian Ministries annual giveaway of charity money and a link to a genuine catholic web site.

Lady Windsor, currently living in Africa but unfortunately dying of cancer has several billion that she doesn't want her family to get their hands on, so she wants me to give it to her cats, and THE director general of the Nigerian National bank is in the unfortunate position of having to 'dispose' of several billion that was left in an account by a presumed dead terrorist. I just need to send him all my personal and bank details together with a blank sheet of paper with my signature at the bottom. Of course I'll mail it first class!

Be warned however that some of these scams can be quite clever. I received one once from Yahoo, and it even had a link to their site so that I could check, well it looked exactly like a yahoo site and I almost, nearly......signed in !

Oh by the way, I forgot to tell you....the only one that isn't a scam is the google award, apparently they are celebrating 10 years and they're giving away fortunes, look out for it in your mail box but you must respond immediately or you lose it.

Hey guys,

I received the same kind of mail from some different id. Text of the mail is mentioned below:-

Great Post, 10X. ;-)

RobertHassey 7 years ago from United Kingdom

Like P.T. Barnum said, "A sucker is born every minute." There's a strategy of generating traffic called email marketing in which from 10,000 emails you send, maybe 3% actually visit your site, and from that 300 visits 10 people actually buy from you. So if your product is $25.00, just by sending 10,000 emails you can get $250.00. There are software that can mine people's emails and save them, and software for mass sending of emails, so all you really need to do is sit for a long time in front of your PC.

I suppose it's the same with these false emails that trick people into spending and sending money and detailing their credit card info just to get hold of some elusive prize. So who do we think these scammers are kidding? A lot. The small minority that take them seriously, however, aren't as lucky.

onlinemarketingsc 7 years ago from United Kingdom

Con people will always abound, if only because scamming the gullible is just another business opportunity, wherein the returns outweigh the investment. The post on email marketing above makes that point clearly: you just have to throw a large enough net and some fish will get caught; then you have to keep doing it again and again until even the not so bright fish learn to avoid you. Emails, phone calls, websites, pamphlets. The medium used may vary, but scams are scams. It's good you posted this to inform people.

Yup - 1 May 2009 and I have just received it. A much shorter one than yours, but the various numbers, including the "winning ticket number" were identical to yours. Also, it was addressed to "none", so how could I have been picked out as the winner? The address they gave for me to contact them was promo.announcement11@gmail.com. Though tempted to flame them, I resisted. ;-)

Hi,I will like you to help me, in the transfer of fund worth($3.2Million) into your account, we have to share it 50%to 50% and i believe that you can not cheat me after thetransfer, i will send you more detail about this transfer assoon as i hear from you. pls reply at:chekeusu@gmail.com

Dear Manish, read this message in detail for your full understanding about this transaction. I am CHEKE USU. the Director in charge of Auditing section Bank Of Africa (B.O.A). Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise. AS IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW, I GOT YOUR IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION THROUGH THE INTERNET SEARCH HERE IN OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA-FASO. I FASTED AND PRAYED FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE I CONTACT YOU TO BE MY PARTNER. I have decided to contact you on a project that will be very beneficial for both of us. During our auditing in this Bank,I came across some amount of money belonging to a deceased foreigner who died with his wife and their three children in a plane crash.The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody from his relation before my discovery to this development. The said amount is U.S $3.2.00(THREE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).Our Banking law stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after 5 years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin. I dont want this money to go into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed Bill. Be assured that this transaction is 100% risk free. On conclusion of this Project, you will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as gratification, while 60% will be for me. Please you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you. I will fly down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment will be discussed. On your acceptance to be my partner, i will send you a text of application to fill and send to the bank for payment approval.Regards.Cheke Usu

Hi Folks,

This obvious scam is easily punished. Simply press the report spam button and leave Google and their lawyers sort out thes idiots.

Whatever about not even changing the winning numbers, the scammers didn't even get a native english speaker to proof read their email. Anybody who has English as their first language or even a fluent foreign speaker would have noted the clanging grammar

Report the spam and they will be hunted down by Google who understandably resent their corporate identity being used in this fashion. I'm just surprised that google allow somebody to use their name in the email address.

HIT THAT REPORT SPAM BUTTON..

Marvel 7 years ago

Just received one as well. Notice the lame name and the email address where it came from..

I have received two emails of such kind of scam. One about 1 year ago, and other today. When I got the first one scam email, I honestly responded and exchanged many messages with them until they asked me to pay 1,000 USD first for the wiring cost. I realized it is a scam. After this experience, I can easily recognize whether it is a scam or not. Here are some guidelines.

1. What kinds of email hosting they are using? Can you imagine that a google winning promotion plan would use a hotmail email account?

2. Google the subject they are sending and you will find out the truth, just like this nice bug.

Beatrix, Jakarta 7 years ago

I also got this kind of email. I thought I would never got this kinda email since I'm in Jakarta, Indonesia. But when I tried to find out about this promotion and ended up in this hub. Gosh.....I finally know that they do this all around the world!

What? I didn't really win? I just bought a boat and a house...boy, this sux

Ariel 7 years ago

I guess the scammer had become a little... slightly smarter.. I got the same e-mail and the content is exactly the same (apart from the different numbers). Just that for now, they create a different e-mail account.. it's no longer using hotmail, but gmail account! (which makes this scam even more plausible) but still, the huge amount is unbelievable.. it's too good to be true.. Don't fall to prey to this scam =)

Thanks for posting this. The email has since changed (much shorter now and includes a name of a person to contact) but it is recognizable by numbers they generated to "identify" you- exactly the same as the ones in yours.

It amazes me that people are still falling for these scams. There are almost daily warnings about internet fraud. Greedy people are always getting scammed. Greed more than ignorance is the reason people lose money to these thugs.

I just received an email from 2010 GOOGLE AWARD PROMOTION that I have won $500,000.00 USD and a Brand New Toyota Camry 2010 Model Car. I have not had any doing with Google like this. Can You just imagine to win money and a car without doing anything. Fortunately I opened these pages on Google and I have found that everything is SCAM and CRIMINAL.

Mandeep Singh 6 years ago

Yup - 1 May 2009 and I have just received it. A much shorter one than yours, but the various numbers, including the "winning ticket number" were identical to yours. Also, it was addressed to "none", so how could I have been picked out as the winner? The address they gave for me to contact them was promo.announcement11@gmail.com. Though tempted to flame them, I resisted. ;-)

Nandini 6 years ago

Hello, I received the same email you guys are talking about today from Google Online Promotion 2010. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.

Scam not that unusual. Currently I have received numerous emails over the past 3 week running similar scams. Here's the list. Two received from Central Bank of Nigeria, one each from Dr. Donald Ogaji and Ngozi Philips both claiming they will give me 20% of any profit they make while using my bank account to transfer money. 5 from Robert s. Mueller FBI counter-terrorism division and cyber crime division. Mueller says I get a 2.3 million dollar tax-free payout from oversea somewhere, it only costs $260 dollars to collect. Both Alicia Jones and Esther Moore say I have won $500,000 during a random draw from unnamed internet companies. Ma Delun from the Operations Department of the Bank of China wanted my bank account number and personal information supposedly so we could enter into some sort of business deal. Rosemary Campbell says I won a lot of money in a "trunk box" sceme (whatever that is) I only needed to send her $250 and my personal information. Vanessa Cooke of UK Lottery Internation Promotion INC., says I just won $50,000 and she needs $180 dollars and my personal information to proccess the claim. I was also contacted by Musa Ahmed of South Africa. He wanted my personal and banking information so he could send his family money they needed to survive. Supposedly he had to flee the country and the government froze his accounts. Oh, and by the way I contacted the FBI and the IC3 several weeks ago about someone using the FBI to scam people. Haven't heard back from them, and probably won't.

Scign 6 years ago

I arrived at this page after clicking the top link in the Google search results for "on-going Google Promotion", having received one of these myself. Mine was short and simple, and very similar to Ana's above. Headers and all replicated below (except my email address):

Seems like they are still at it. I "googled" Dr. Eli Anderson, who, according to the e-mail received, is the "Coordinator" for the awards promotion and no one of significance pops up. Now wouldn't some that is connected to Google is such a way be listed in their own search engine? Shame on them!

Another funny thing I noticed. I just found an email that looks kinda like yours except it looks really real, although I can tell it is a scam, because Google just settled a law suit against their Google Buzz service, thus now would not be the time to be doing any form of give-away. I have replied to the email asking for contact information for the organization giving away the prizes and for the representative that is supposed to be sending me my prize. I will wait to see if anyone replies and keep you guys in the loop. I look forward to their replay and i expect it to look just as fake as the original message. lol

but in the end, that guy will receive a very bad karma.

WannaB Writer 5 years ago from Templeton, CA

I have failed to read all the comments -- I see all the originals of these letters in my spam box every day and they are automatically deleted. Anyone who's been in business on the internet can probably spot spam by its headers. Only a few spammers can get me to open the email by making it iffy enough to trick me with a subject header that really could be applicable. But there are new people entering the online world everyday that haven't built up the experience yet to ID junk mail on sight. Your Hub should help them.

I got one in my mail box two days ago offering me $400,000 US. It was on "google" letterhead and immediately I was mad/hopeful...! Yes, that niggling little voice in my head says, "but it COULD be real". Hmm, yes, really a scam!

Ok, I'm grateful for the Hub! It confirmed my suspicions. It would have been nice to pay off my house and become completely debt free but not today, Grace.

I'd like to nail these folks to the wall. How do I do this?

thanks!

But how can they ignore the label copyright acts of Google or any best branded company.It is one of the advantages which lets them to trap the innocent internet users.I think the companies whose brand labels these spammers are using must have a very strict reputation towards it and this way such spams can be avoided to a great extent!

When you receive a fake money award email how exactly do you verify WITH GOOGLE that it is a lot of rubbish. It would be handy to have one clear route by which to check. Some of these look pretty good and I can imagine a fair number of people, especially younger, may be taken in.
